[Brother Constantine]

I am a HUGE fan of Grey Knights, and I have been working on a couple of project figures for the last little while. I am very busy with life in general so unfortunatly I do not have as much free time as I would like, but here is what I have managed to get done so far:

This is my GK Chaplain, as inspired by the awesome GK novels!!!
I built his helmet from scratch out of GS, and used classic metal lightening claws. His base and the splashing blood are all GS as well.

Here is my test terminator. I am seeing if I have the skill, and if I like the look of tabarded GKTs. I think I am going to do the whole squad this way.

Here is a shot of some additional detail I added.

I am also working on a GK GM. I have customized him to be holding his NFW in two hands, I have swaped his head for a bald one (like mine k, and I am currently attempting to convert his Storm bolter into a Psycannon.

Thank you all for the comments :grin:

Brilliant work. I like the 'splashing' blood. Thats a serious amount of killing oging on there or is this on a deamon world?

My intent was that the Chaplain is on a Daemon world like the one described in the first GK novel. But there is no reason why the blood he is stepping in couldn't be that of foul Daemon scum that he has killed! :threaten:

I have recently been working on my first NMM GKT. Here is my progress so far. Next step is to attach and paint the arms.

 

[Brother Constantine]

Thanks guys!
NMM is pretty tough to do and I know it is not everyones cup of tea. I find it intimidating with all of those GD painters posting their NMM work which I never have a hope of duplicating! I am just having fun with the process of painting!!! and giving myself some models I can be proud of in the process

 

[Brother Constantine]

rock on, thats a good way of thinking about it. what do you think about those tutorials? :wink:
CP

I was thinking about it.....But that will take a lot of time away from actually painting my models :cray: and I want to keep going while my motivation is still fresh!

I am more than happy to answer any questions you have about what I have done though k:

 

[Brother Constantine]

rock on, thats a good way of thinking about it. what do you think about those tutorials? :wink:
CP

are you using Citadel colours for your NMM?

This is a really quick tutorial (if it can be called that) on what I have done so far. I hope this answers your questions and helps those of you that are interested in giving it a try :good:

I used a base coat of black spray paint from GW, then I used codex grey (CG), Space wolf grey (SWG), and skull white (SW).

I painted the codex grey onto the black primer, leaving the deep cracks black.

Then I mixed CG and SWG together to create a transition color, and applied it.

Then I applied SWG.

And finally I applied the SW.

During every stage I make sure that my paints are almost the consistency of washes.

As you apply the layers, try not to go over the same area, aka leave some of the previous layer exposed. This way when the paint dries the transition looks smoother.

I hope this helps! If you have any more questions just ask I will be happy to help k:

 

[Brother Constantine]

There are little frickin' Daemons all over the place!!!! :ireful2: Good thing I have armed my GKT

 

[Brother Constantine]

Oh, hello Brother Constantine.
Those grey knights are impossible to mistake, it is you from grey knights forum.
The GKT still look amazing.

The very same!!! Well met Brother Klomster!

 

[Brother Constantine]

So here he is!!! All done!
I think that NMM is not really to much more work than metalic painting. It is just a different form of layering/highlighting really.
I have chosen not to base him yet because I am thinking that I may use him and my other GKTs in the new addition of Space Hulk when it comes out.
I am pretty tight for funds and time, and I think that SH will be a good solution to my $ and time shortages

 

[Brother Constantine]

Never have I felt so compelled to commit heresy once again and join the ranks of the Grey Knights...
BUT I SHALL RESIST!
Your blood base would be equally suited to a Lord of Chaos, were I not too busy letting blood flow from loyalists such as yourself. Your painting will indirectly cause Chaos's powers to grow! Your flawless NMM shading has inspired me to drive my devotees of Khorne to far greater heights!
So... well done, "Brother Constantine", your chapter's looks should distract Slaanesh's idiots long enough for you to cut them down.
Yeah... those kick ass.

Join the light side!!!
You don't stand a chance against the Emperor's finest :threaten:
The dark gods may gain some power from the oceans of spilled blood so easily emptied from their weakling followers, but I asure you the losses the dark gods suffer at the hands of the Grey Knghts more than compensates for the miniscule gain.

Thaks for the complement on my GKT. I am flattered that he made a follower of Chaos think about changing sides :good:

Now I just have to paint the rest of them :shok:
I know the GKs are elite but my force is pushing it :laugh:

 

[Brother Constantine]

Well, my camera is back and here are a couple of pics:

First up is my GM with his newly fitted Force weapon cables. I think I am almost ready to say this guy is ready for the paint shop I can't really think of anything else that I want/need to add to him.....can you?
I am going to make a helmet and bearer for him but that is a side project for another day

Next is my Chaplains key chain/strap. The Chaplain is still a WIP, I am going to fill in the strap to make it more substantial. What do you think so far?

 

[Brother Constantine]

@ Warlord Imp.

I was thinking that the cables could be retractable so that the GM isn't tripping over meters of cable when it doesn't need to be there.

I just finished working on this guy and thought I would post pics of my progress. Sorry the pica are dark

 

[Brother Constantine]

I have finally finished GKT number two, which means that I officially have battle brothers!!!! I only had one before so he was an only child not a brother

And now for the team shots!!!

 

[Brother Constantine]

Really not sure yet what I want to do with the bases :dunno:
There are soooo many cool options, Space Hulk, Lava, Daemons, Blood.....
I'm just going to keep painting the models until I become inspired k:

 

[Brother Constantine]

:shok:

Those are b****y amazing, i think its time to crack open that box of GK Terminators and give them a shot. Also, what is the name of this GK forum u mentioned???

cheers
-mick-

The name of the forum I mentioned is "Grey Knights Forum" Pretty original eh
This is where you can find it: http://greyknights.forumotion.com/forum.htm
Come check it out, it is a great forum.

how long does it ake you to finisha mini? plus there simply amazing

Usually if I can sit down uninterupted a terminator will take me a solid day and a half. I don't usually have much spare time though, so sometimes it can take A LOT longer

 

[Brother Constantine]

Here is the Brother Captain for the upcomming sqad. Not quite finished yet, but I am over due for an update :grin:

 

[Brother Constantine]

Here is the latest instalment of the growth of the Knight Wing!!! Here is Brother Captain Garus and the begginings of his squad.

The Brother Captain has a GS detailed shield on him now and also has the GS loin cloth.
Two more to go until my first squad is complete :cheers:
One more standard Terminator, and the special weapons Incinerator Terminator. :so_happy:

 

[Brother Constantine]

Man, I don't know how you did it, but you managed to elevate grey knights to an even higher level of awesome (insert over 9000 joke here). Your conversions are awesome and your painting is better still. Are you sure your not on the 'eavy metal team?

I am sure.

But thank you for your kind words :biggrin:

 

[Brother Constantine]

Thank you Brother Klomster. As always your honesty is appreciated. Now get some more pics of your Mechanicus up on here!!!!

 

[Brother Constantine]

I have finally started work on my Grey Knight Grand Master's helmet bearer. Here is the progress so far.
